Chapter 230 - Special Abilities

Ku Quan’s fingers released a bright magical white glow, instantly breaking the weird curse on Ying Yunpeng’s body, which made Prince Xu feel a bit unpleasant.

Prince Xu had been sitting in front of Ying Yunpeng for such a long while, but had failed to perceive any abnormal sign coming from his body. However, a middle-aged man wearing crappy clothes, looking as weak as a chicken, and with an odd name that didn’t contain any personal information of his, such as where he had come from, had noticed and easily broken the curse that Prince Xu had not even noticed. This made the middle-aged man seem more powerful than Prince Xu, and Prince Xu was not happy about it.

Sneering, Prince Xu held a glass of wine and gulping it down. Then he stood up, held his hands behind his body, and gave Ku Quan a serious and proud look.

He ignored the sorrowfully yells of Ying Yunpeng, and said with a cold voice, “Elder Yunpeng, this is?”

Ying Yunpeng gasped quickly and deeply. Several of his blood vessels were visible under his skin of his forehead. He silently chanted the spell that had a calming effect and was taught to him bu Ku Quan, after which he gradually calmed down. He then smiled and said, “This is a magically powerful man and a very good friend of mine, Mr. Ku Quan.”

After pausing for a second, Ying Yunpeng then continued with a gentle voice, “During all these years, Mr. Ku Quan has been helping me with building this Ten Sun market. Without his help, the Ten Sun market would never grow into such a thriving market.”

Prince Xu glanced at Ku Quan scornfully, while keeping his cold look and said, “Help you? Elder Yunpeng, you are supported by the Ten Sun Country and you hold the resources of all the productions of the majority of the Western Wasteland. With such amazing resources, the Ten Sun market would have grown by itself anyway, why do you need any help?”

Shaking his head, Prince Xu continued, “From such a lowly person?”

Ying Yunpeng smiled, but remained silent. Ku Quan bowed slightly to Prince Xu, and seemed very peaceful and friendly. He was not angry at all.

Before Prince Xu said anything else, Ku Quan put his hand into his sleeve, and took out a piece of stone.

He slightly blew towards that stone, removed a layer of dust covering it, then threw it up and took it back for a few times, after which, he showed the stone to Prince Xu and said, “This, my respectful guest, this is a piece of stone.”

Prince Xu angrily yelled, “This is indeed a piece of stone, I am not blind!”

Ku Quan grinned, slowly and gently nodded at Prince Xu, still not angry at all. He then slowly blew towards the stone once again, but this time, the air breathed out of his mouth had a faint gold colour. Countless gold powder mixed in the air blew out of his mouth and spread on that stone. Instantly, the stone held in his hand let out wisps of golden lights. Within one to two breaths, the piece of stone remained exactly the same shape, but its complexity changed in quality.

At this moment, the object held in Ku Quan’s hand was a piece of pure gold. It had exactly the same shape as that piece of stone, even retaining all the natural patterns and cracks on it.

Ku Quan walked up to Prince Xu with a satisfied look. They eyes of Prince Xu had popped wide and his mouth also hung wide open. Ku Quan handed this piece of gold to him and said, “Now, this is a piece of gold. I, Ku Quan, guarantee with my own life that this is a piece of pure gold is without any impurities and doesn’t need any purification processes.”

“This, this,” Prince Xu was totally stunned, while staring at this piece of gold, without being able to let even a sentence out.

All Senior Magi had incredibly great and destructive power, and an amazingly strong life force. Maguspriests were capable of using all kinds of weird magic, which could achieve all kinds of magical effects. Some powerful Maguspriests were even able to change the seasonal weather of an entire area, which had a radius up to a million miles. Through blood offering ceremonies, they could even move mountains and oceans with only a thought.

However, with Prince Xu’s knowledge and experience, he had never heard of people capable of such things. Turning a stone into gold!

That was right, this special magic or ability should be called ‘turning stone into gold’. But not a single Maguspriest he knew could do this. Besides, gold was a very important resource. It could serve as the most useful balancing metal that the processes of building all kinds of magic tools, weapons, and magic formations, even altars and large-scale weapons that were specially designed for wartime, they would all require great amounts of high-quality gold.
